Experience the Legacy of the Suntrup Family – proudly serving the St. Louis area since 1957. What began with Bill Suntrup opening the first dealership in the 1960s has blossomed into a multi-generational, family-run automotive empire. Just a decade after Bill launched his first dealership, his brother Don joined him, and together, they laid the foundation for what would become the Suntrup Automotive Group.
Today, the Suntrup name is synonymous with quality and trust. With over 20 family members actively involved, the Suntrup legacy continues to thrive. Bill's sons, Chris and Tom, are partners in Suntrup West County Volvo, with Tom also serving as President and CEO of Suntrup Ford Kirkwood, Suntrup Buick GMC in St. Peters, and Suntrup Ford Westport.
On the other side of the family tree, Don’s children, Butch and Craig, are proud partners in Suntrup Nissan/Volkswagen, Suntrup Kia, Suntrup Hyundai, and BMW of West St. Louis. As Craig Suntrup reflects, "We all started early in the business, around age 12, doing the grunt work—washing cars, cleaning parts, and painting walls."
The Suntrup family’s commitment to hard work, community, and exceptional service is at the heart of everything we do. We invite you to experience the Suntrup difference—where tradition meets innovation, and every customer is treated like family.

I had such a great experience buying my new Kia Sportage! Kris "Krispy" Portnoy was absolutely awesome from start to finish. He was friendly, easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, and never made me feel Kris "Krispy" Portnoy was absolutely awesome from start to finish. He was friendly, easy to talk to, extremely knowledgeable, and never made me feel pressured or rushed. He took the time to answer all of my questions and made what can sometimes be a stressful process feel easy! I truly appreciate how he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with my purchase. I would definitely recommend Kris to anyone looking for a new vehicle. He made the entire experience a great one, and I couldn’t be happier with my new Sportage! I was equally impressed with Ryan McCalla when it came to finance side of the purchase. The whole team was fantastic! This dealership is the best I have been to!! More

After dealing with a nightmare experience at HW Kia and being left stranded I reached out to Suntrup Kia. I was paired up with Mariah and what a complete relief that was. She was immediately attentive to e being left stranded I reached out to Suntrup Kia. I was paired up with Mariah and what a complete relief that was. She was immediately attentive to everything I needed, very accommodating to my kids and situation, and provided fast and incredible service. She really helped me through my tough spot and I have already recommended her to several other people. If you want an incredible and easy car buying process you have to ask for Mariah! I also dealt with a terrible finance guy at my last car dealership. Fortunately for me BJ was my finance guy here and he was incredibly hospitable to me and my kids. They had snacks and were very patient with them. He found me a great loan in such a quick process, was very kind, and made me feel very confident in my decision. The whole process was the complete opposite of the horror I had just dealt with at HW Kia. Even every other staff member there were so friendly and accommodating to us! I am so grateful for the whole team over at Suntrup Kia South County. They have made a forever customer! I can’t thank them enough! More

I was ready to purchase a 2027 Telluride with a loan preapproval back in May. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to order. They did not seem to want to order it for me. I found another dealer preapproval back in May. I knew exactly what I wanted and was ready to order. They did not seem to want to order it for me. I found another dealer that had the exact one I wanted. I contacted Rod about a dealer transfer and it took days for him to respond. By the time he responded, I went to the other dealer and purchased direct from them. More
